In the main hall!
With the combined might of two top experts, especially now that they were no longer holding back, the immensely powerful Stone General was soon overwhelmed.
After another moment, with a rumble, the Stone General's body began to disintegrate on its own, quickly shattering into a pile of waste stones.
A purple crystal flickered within the stone pile.
Qing Dao saw it, his eyes flashed, and he reached out to grab it.
However, Cardinal Hasar was not slow either and also moved instantly.
Purple crystal stones, the most precious type of crystal stone, also the purest in energy, were extremely rare even in the Dark Association and the Church of Light.
Under these circumstances, after the two had painstakingly killed the Stone General, both wanted to obtain the purple crystal stone within its body.
Just as Qing Dao reached out to grab the purple crystal stone, the next moment, he grasped nothing. He saw Cardinal Hasar stomp hard, sending the purple crystal stone flying into the air.
Seeing the other party about to reach for it, Qing Dao gritted his teeth in desperation and could only swing his blade.
Cardinal Hasar frowned and had to withdraw his hand. He saw that with the back of the blade, the purple crystal stone was directly sent flying away.
"You!"
"Whoever snatches it, gets it!" Qing Dao sneered, turned, and chased outside, because he had knocked the purple crystal stone outside the great hall with the back of his blade.
Cardinal Hasar was helpless and could only quickly chase after him.
For him, the purple crystal stone was very tempting. Although the Church of Light was rich in resources, the Church of Light only received less than two such pure crystal stones a year.
Outside the main hall.
About several hundred meters away, beneath a statue, the High Priest was still kneeling in utmost piety. Beside her were Shangguan Yanran and Yao Baoer.
The two of them were ordinary women with no strength to even tie a chicken, so they had no intention of fighting for any resources and stayed by the statue to accompany the High Priest.
Yao Baoer was rummaging through her backpack for the only bag of snacks she had. She was reluctant to eat it but was also tempted. In the end, she could not resist and quickly opened the packaging.
"Ugh... Durian flavor is so bad, I don't know who brought this snack. I never eat this flavor..."
Despite her disdain, the girl was not picky at all and quickly stuffed it into her mouth, muttering, "High Priest sister, isn't it tiring to kneel here like this? Why didn't you bring snacks when you entered the ruins this time?"
The High Priest, with her eyes slightly closed, remained kneeling piously on the ground and did not reply.
Yao Baoer was about to say something else when Shangguan Yanran suddenly saw something fly out of the distant great hall and land on the ground with a thud.
Shangguan Yanran said curiously, "Huh, what is that?"
"Where? Is it food?"
Yao Baoer immediately turned her head and looked around. Soon, she saw a purple crystal stone rolling in front of her. Her eyes lit up: "What a beautiful stone! Can it be eaten?"
"I don't think so!"
Shangguan Yanran gave a wry smile, thinking why you always manage to associate everything with food.
Just then, two figures emerged from the distant great hall, they were Cardinal Hasar of the Church of Light and Qing Dao, a Earth-tier expert of the Dark Association.
Did they throw out this purple stone?
As Shangguan Yanran guessed this, she saw Yao Baoer beside her snatch the purple crystal stone with lightning speed. Before she could react, she was pulled up by Yao Baoer.
"What are you spacing out for! Hurry up and run!"
"But..."
"No buts, this must be something good. Run faster, those two are very strong!"
"..."
Shangguan Yanran was helpless. She also knew that those two were very strong, but why should two weak women like them steal other people's things?
But it was too late to say anything now. After being pulled by Yao Baoer for a few steps, she also sprinted with all her might towards a row of side halls in the distance.
Outside the main hall!
The two top experts watched helplessly as the purple crystal stone was snatched away by two ordinary girls, and they were instantly speechless.
They wanted to chase, but a battle was still ongoing in the main hall. Those dozen Stone Captains were not weak, and both the Church of Light and the Dark Association had suffered considerable casualties.
Cardinal Hasar sighed, turned around, and went back into the hall to provide support.
Qing Dao was more inclined to chase and seize the purple crystal stone, but he was afraid that this old fellow would attack his subordinates in his absence, so he could only grit his teeth and return to the hall together to kill the remaining stones.
Of course, they were just two ordinary girls. Although they seemed to be from the Huaxia Dragon Group, the Huaxia Dragon Group currently had no top experts stationed there.
At worst, he would go and take it when he had time.
For Qing Dao, the Huaxia Dragon Group was a force he intended to eliminate sooner or later, and they would meet again!
...
Ye Cangtian and Gu Yue were standing outside a side hall.
The two had just tried and found that these houses were very strange. Almost every ten minutes, the doors of the houses would automatically close, and after one minute, they could be opened again.
Of course, there were no changes in the rooms.
Unless someone intruded, they would suffer some kind of attack. After being killed, when the house reopened, the person and the corpse inside would disappear.
"It seems that the entire city is strange, and there is something in these houses that can quickly kill any living being that enters mistakenly."
Ye Cangtian sighed slightly, besides finding everything here strange, he had not found any clues at all.
However, one thing was good: these houses closed once every ten minutes. As long as they could time their entry into these rooms, there would not be too much danger.
Gu Yue looked back and frowned, "It seems like a battle has broken out in the main hall. It looks like it's very dangerous over there too!"
"Who cares about them? It's best if they all die over there!" Ye Cangtian said with a careless smile.
"I've always been very confused, aren't you from the Dark Association? Why..."
Seeing Gu Yue's strange expression, Ye Cangtian touched his nose and was about to say he was an undercover agent, but then he glimpsed two figures running in a hurry from behind.
He frowned, "Why did those two come in too?"
Shangguan Yanran and Yao Baoer had actually come in, and why were these two burdens running around in this place? Were they being chased?
However, the next moment, his expression changed, and he couldn't help but shout, "Don't go in!"
The two girls were running in a hurry towards a nearby side hall and were pushing open a room to get in.
By the time Ye Cangtian shouted a warning, it was already too late.
And just then, the house closing mechanism, which occurred every ten minutes, also began.
"Bang bang bang..."
Houses began to close one by one, as if in a chain reaction. The room where Shangguan Yanran and Yao Baoer were located also instantly closed!
Ye Cangtian, who was about to rush over, suddenly stopped!
It's over!
When was it not good for these two women to enter the house, but they had to run in at this time? Weren't they doomed?
At this moment, his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Two women, one was his subordinate for many years and had a relationship as close as siblings!
The other was his brother's sister, and also Tang Xinwan's best friend, so she was considered his friend!
But now these two were trapped in that terrifying house.
"May... maybe they'll be fine, don't worry..."
Gu Yue wanted to comfort him, but she couldn't finish her sentence. Even she felt that those two girls were almost certainly not alive.
Ye Cangtian clenched his fists, remained silent, and walked step by step towards the room in the distance.
